## Summary

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority commissioned pipeline development support for priority opportunities in its housing pipeline. The work covers technical advice on routes to market, identifying the activities and resources needed to overcome barriers to delivery, and developing route-to-market proposals for priority sites. This is a professional development consultancy service, classified as development consultancy services (CPV 73220000). Delivery is in the Liverpool City Region area. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies, housing programmes or regeneration pipelines on commercial strategy, delivery barriers and procurement or market routes. It combines strategic advice with practical development of proposals for specific sites, rather than the supply of construction works or physical goods.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was completed. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority awarded the contract to ACRE DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING LIMITED on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 18 October 2026. Its value is £40,200 excluding VAT, or £48,240 including VAT. The selected supplier is an SME. The award covers the full pipeline development support requirement, including route-to-market advice, work to address delivery barriers and proposals for priority housing-pipeline sites. The award was made under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for specialist advice linking housing-pipeline opportunities to deliverable market routes. A credible competitor for similar work would need to understand public-sector development programmes, assess barriers to delivery and identify the activities, resources and commercial structures needed to move priority sites forward. Relevant capability includes technical route-to-market advice, preparation of clear proposals for individual sites and the ability to work across a pipeline rather than on one isolated project. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a focused consultancy can deliver this scale of requirement. Firms with experience advising combined authorities, housing or regeneration bodies, and translating strategic opportunities into practical delivery plans, would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
